Choosing upvc replacement window handles (click through the following post)

Window handles are a fundamental part of uPVC frames and should match the existing frame. The most important thing is the spindle's length, which determines whether your new uPVC handle will fit.

Check out the table below for a quick checklist to take note of your uPVC window handle's spindle length. This will allow you to select the proper window handle replacement for your double-glazed window.

Espag Handle

Espag handles are the most popular design of handle used on upvc windows (they're also often used in aluminium and timber too). They have an oval spindle that extends from the back of the handle and enters into the multi-point lock mechanism that is attached to the window. The handle is used to control the locking mechanism that is attached to the window.

Window handles from Espag are available in a variety of different styles that differ depending on the style you select and the purpose you'd like them to serve. Some have an option to push-button to lock the closed' position, as well as key-locking (and fire-escape non-locking where required). Many meet the Secure by Design specification to provide an added level of security. They are also available with various sizes of spindles, which can be altered by using spindle sleeves to reduce the size of the spindles protruding from them.

The espagnolette handles we sell have been tested by Yale to ensure they meet the exacting standards that you would expect from such an established brand. They are suitable for upvc, timber and aluminum windows. We have a range of colors to choose from, as well as an option to match the handle to your existing hinges.
